Chef tips

💡The baking soda bath is what makes them taste like pretzels — don't skip it or they're just bread bites

💡Brush with butter immediately while hot — the butter soaks in and the salt sticks perfectly

💡Serve immediately — pretzel bites are best within 10 minutes of coming out of the fryer
